So assuming he's signed, we have a striker who's racked up a goal almost every other game in the Swiss top flight over the past few seasons and has 13 international caps. 25 years old, so huge sell-on potential, but first and foremost, hopefully the answer to our immediate lack of goals from the strike force.
Don't think we could have found a better (op paper) prospect than this.
Some of his misses in the last Girona camp game were painful to watch and confirmation that, even if it was just pre-season, he still has a long way to go.
I'm not worried. If Dykes and/or Armstrong goes, we will have a plan and I won't be surprised if we are close to finalising it also. Given Noury and Marti's record in recent months, I have complete faith in what they are doing.
Saw Martha play a few times, he's very decent! In fact, they played him as attacking right wing in the first team while he played left back for the youth team. So versatile.
Haven't seen Willock on any of the Girona pics, I'm guessing he is in London having contract discussions. And thinking/hoping they want to get that sorted asap and jet him across to join and be part of some of the preparations.
I thought moneyball was the strategy of signing statistically good players, but not really spectacular. So assembling a team of players that tick the boxes in terms of stats, but not really anyone glamourous.
Yeah I really liked them. Growing up in the countryside in South Africa in the 80's, it was virtually impossible to get access to music like this. I had a friend whom I saw once or twice a year who lived near Cape Town and had access to record stores that sold imported LPs and cassettes. He introduced me to all sorts of weird and wonderful music.
I saw Kirk Brandon live in Amsterdam as support act for The Mission in, I think, 2001.
Its for sale from the club shop, but somehow I missed the launch. The video on the club youtube channel was before the Leeds game and said it would be used in the Leeds game. Missed that also.
I'm guessing that if that was indeed used against Leeds, the actual "on-field" look of it is not as bad as the images on the web.
I think with some proper coaching he can be a useful player. His decision making has been poor, for me.
Many fluent attacks upfield he seemed to slow it down by just hanging on to it with people streaming forward into good positions. And then when he had to slow it down and wait for support, he snapped at it or tried a shot from impossible angles.
His first touch though has let him down on many occasions. Not sure how much that can still be improved, I guess a lot of practice will help.
I would quite literally watch anything on TV if its sports. Rugby union, cycling, golf, field hockey, athletics, cricket, darts, tennis, you name it.
Since moving to NL I had to learn to appreciate sports like ice skating and field hockey which, in my native South Africa, was not popular or not even present (skating), but huge in NL.
There was a time I watch quite a bit of US baseball because it was on the telly right about the time I was cooking dinner.
Well that's the model, isn't it? Not every single player you develop will be a success, so you have to try and some will be misses.
Friend of mine (who played international football, two world cups to his name) was later technical director at a well known top flight Dutch club. He told me they only have to sell a player on for decent money every 3-5 years and that's enough. Its the entire business model. They have a specific area where they recruit and if they hit gold on average once in 4 years, they are all set.
